Financial Narrative
Introduction
The government agreed, in the States Strategic Plan, to prioritise investment in health, education, economic
growth and infrastructure. This means funds are being reprioritised from other areas. Departments are
looking for sustainable efficiencies, service redesign and cost reductions to reach a balanced budget by 2019.
CMD is committed to total savings of £2.37 million over the MTFP 2017 to 2019. These savings will be
achieved by restructuring the department to find staff, non-staff efficiencies and savings, and through user
pays initiatives.
CMD will continue to support the Public Sector Reform programme by investigating ways to restructure the
department and redesign the way services are provided. This will allow efficient and effective services to be
maintained with reduced budgets and fewer staff.
One major re-structure the Department will undertake is the reform of the States Information Services
Department. Reforming our services means we need to work in new ways, and that includes the way we use
technology and information.
At the moment Information Services supports an increasingly complex selection of technology platforms, as
well as supporting departments’ demands for changing systems, services and business processes.
A better focus on business change through the appropriate use of technology will enable a radical change in
the way infrastructure is maintained. This will have an impact on the current Information Services teams,
their working practices and terms and conditions and on the resources required by the Department.
In 2017 the Health Intelligence Unit, and its associated resources was transferred from the Medical Officer
of Health’s office to the Statistics Unit. This will separate the regulator from the service provider.
2018 Recurring Savings
In addition to maintaining the £806,600 savings in 2017, the Department has committed to further recurring
savings of £521,800 in 2018 bringing the total cumulative savings to £1,328,400. These will be met through
efficiencies of £321,800 and £200,000 from user pays initiatives. Whilst work is ongoing to identify where
these savings can be made, these include the following incentives:
Restructure of service delivery across the departmental functions in order that it better meets the
organisation’s requirements moving forward;
User pays charges to be generated by Professional Care and Regulation once the law is developed.
2018 Additional Funding
Total additional funding of £15,000 has been allocated to the Department in 2018. This includes:
£11,000 for Financial Services to implement the recommendations made by McKinsey;
£4,000 for Information Services to maintain software and licence support.
Chief Ministers’ DepartmentAnnual Update to the MTFP Departmental Annex for 2018 Staffing Since the publication of the 2017 - 2019 MTFP and Annex a reconciliation exercise was undertaken which updated the approved 2017 FTE’s within the Chief Minister’s Department after taking into consideration the transfer of roles within existing ministerial portfolios, approved Voluntary Redundancies / Voluntary Severance’s in 2016 and temporary increases due to long term projects from 246.8 to 259.5 FTE’s. Whilst the Department is fully committed to driving efficiencies through service rationalisation and achieving greater value for money through service re-design there will be a requirement to temporarily increase technical posts to ensure successful implementation of large and complex projects such as E-Gov, Public Sector Reform and Workforce Modernisation. A full breakdown of FTE, including movements from 2017 (original) to 2017 (revised) and to 2018 is given in the table below: Original 2017 FTE 246.8 Transfer of IS role from Judicial Greffe 1.0 Transfer of Health Intelligence Function from H&SS 3.0 Reduction of temporary posts in IJCI -2.0 Approved VR -0.8 Temporary posts to support Public Sector Reform and Workforce Modernisation 6.5 Temporary posts to support the implementation of the Cyber Security Strategy both internal and external to the organisation 5.0 Revised 2017 FTE into 2018 259.5 Chief Ministers’ Department
